Hey! Good job for making your first script.
I've simplified it so that you don't have to directly edit Game_Party
*Code removed refer to first post*
Instead of directly editing Game_Party, we simply call the Game_Party class and its methods.
We do not want to edit the methods directly too but rather add to the methods. To do so, we alias the methods.
Here's how aliasing goes:

CODE

alias new_name old_name

All it does is call the old methods of that function
To call the old methods, you have to type the new name as such:

CODE

new_name(inputs)

or if there are no arguments/inputs at all just do

CODE

new_name

Again, lessons to note:
1) You don't have to edit it directly, just call the class again.
2) Alias methods as much as possible.

Hope this helps. =] Good job once again.
.

Reason for edit: code has been removed by request

[Skyhunter]

Hey Jens, thanks for your help!
It seems aliasing isn't that complicated at all. Well that's good to know.
Thx again.

[Skyhunter]

First post has been edited, correct screen and demo there...

Can you make it so that a sound effect chimes in along with the message?

cool man, works perfectly! thanks alot!

[grafikal007]

Can you pleaaaaase make a .txt file and post it?

I keep trying to copy and paste the script but it ends up pasting in a VERY LONG single line in the Script Editor.

Nevermind, I just copied the post below you, I think it's the same.

I was wondering if there's a way to edit it so that the box is much smaller, shows one item at a time instead of listing them, and centered?

Post below isn't the same, don't use it. It has bugs.

I could probably make what you want. But i don't have the time right now.

[grafikal007]

Oh, if it has bugs, can you please upload a .txt document of your script? If I use the script from the first post, it pastes into the Script Editor in a single line. I think it's because of the scroll bar on the code, but I'm not sure. Thanks

[kingoftheroad]

Hmm... good..
But what if you want to give the charecter a large amount of items?
That would be annoying.

Lol, yeah. I didn't like that it created a full message box to list off 4 items then refresh and list off more. But for whatever reason, I really don't mind when in a game if you pick up 3 or 4 items, a small centered window at the bottom of the screen fades in and out 3 or 4 times informing you that you picked up a new item.

[Skyhunter]

I thought of that before.
But, sry guys i m not that good with scripting, so for the time being this is all there is.
Also i don't have much time, but thx for comments.
Maybe when i have more time will upgrade this script.

SkyHunter, you should put your code under the code tag instead of codebox.
Also, the bug he mentions is that an error will pop up whenever you gain an item from Scene_Shop.

If you guys still can't copy the script, press the reply button from his original post. A new window should pop up where you can reply to the topic with his quoted text.

Simply copy the script from this window.

I put it in spoiler, I can't find that codetag, but the bug isn't just from scene_shop, when u aliased, u also forgot to remove to add items, so it gives double items.

Uh, found the code tahg, jens could you edit the above post so people don't get confused?

Hey (@ you or jens), adding the feature that the window also shows the graphics picture assigned to the item in the database would be nice. For example, the sword icon you have for the "Super Blade" in the database, appears within the window, like after the "You got the Super Blade!"
For gold, it'll be a set of coins or something.

Good suggestion! I'm busy right now and besides this is not my script.

Maybe SkyHunter would like to take on the request. ;-D

[vandelfan]

I just have one question:
How do i add sound exactly?
thx
